"This Kauai resort has all the ingredients for a magical Hawaiian getaway—swimmable beach out front, a legendary surf break a short paddle away, stunning pools (including a sleek adults-only option), strong on-site bars and restaurants, easy access to nearby hiking and a cute town—and what sets it apart is its bona fide wellness focus: cutting-edge medi-spa offerings and robust fitness and mind/body programming. Guest rooms are sand-hued with reclaimed teak and island touches, service is casual but professional, and staff happily share local recommendations." - Jessica Sulima
